SPECFICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,51'1, dated J' une 9, 190,3.

Application filed December 17, 1902. Serial No. 135,467. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR BELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, inthe county of New York and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Candy-Buckets, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide improved means for dividing a candy-bucket or similar receptacle into separate comparte ments by means of suitable transverse and vertically-arranged partitions which are removable from the bucket and replaceable therein whenever desired; and the invention consists in the means hereinafter described and claimed whereof to form the verticallyarranged partitions.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of whichV the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement aredesignated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in .which--A Figure l is a plan view of aoandy or other bucket divided into separate compartments or receptacles Fig. 2, a vertical section thereof on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a perspective view showing the way in which the vertical partitions are formed; Fig. 4, a plan view of the means which I employ whereof to form the vertical partitionsg-and Fig. 5, a view similar to Fig. 4, showing the parts in a slightly dierent position.

pieces of cardboard or similar material, (designated in Figs. 3, 4., and 5 by the'reference characters c2, c3, and 04,) and these pieces of cardboard are substantially of the same ver-V tical depth as the bucket n., the difference between the depth of said pieces of card board and the ,depth of the bucket c being the thickness ofthe horizontal partition b. One of the pieces of cardboard which make up the vertical partitions, preferably that designated bythe reference character c2, is of the same transverse width as the diameter of the bucket and is' tapered in a manner similar to the taper of thewalls of the bucket, and the other two pieces, c3and c4, are secured thereto centrally and vertically thereof, as shown at c5, by mucilage, glue, or any other adhesive material, and the outer edges of the parts c and c4 are beveled or inclined tocorres'pond with the bevel or incline of the inner walls of the bucket. Each of the pieces or partscz, c3, and c4 isalso scored or creased transversely of the center thereof, as shown at c6, and in practice the vertical partitions are made and supplied in the'forrn shown in Fig. 4, together with the horizontal partition Z9, and iu practice whenever it is desired to place the said partitions in a bucket so as to form the sepa- -rate compartments a2 the vertical partitions,

which are in the form shown in Fig. 4:, are separated by bending or breaking the same transversely of the middle thereof along the score-lines c6, and the separate members c2, c3, and c4 are bent into the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, Fig. 5 showing this process of bending. The bottom partitions, forming the bottom series of compartments a2, are then placed in position, after which; the horizontal partition b is placed in position and the top partitions, forming the top series of compartments a?, are then placed in position.

It will be understood that the bottom series of compartments a? are first .filled with candy and the horizontal partition t is then placed in position, after which the upper vertical partitions are placed in position, and the upper series ot' compartments a2 may then be filled with candy in the usual manner.

It will be seenl that the parts or members c and c4, from-which the vertical partitions are formed in the form of construction shown, are narrower in transverse line than the transverse width or' diameter of the bucket; but this is not absolutely essential, and neitheris it essential that the parts c3 and c4 be both placed on the same side of the part o2; but the means whereof to form the partit-ion members, as herein described, consti- IOC tutes the subject-matter of this invention, and it will be apparent `that my improvement may be employed for separating various kinds of buckets, boxes, or other receptacles into separate compartments regardless of the use to which the same may be adapted.

By making the vertical partition members of cardboard or similar material and scoring the same, as described, the separate parts or top and bottom members are easily separated,and two of said parts may also be scored vertically at the center thereof or at the points c7, so as to facilitate the lateral bending thereof.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire'to secure by Letters Patent, is

The herein-described partition structure for a bucket or other receptacle which it is ARTHUR BELL.
